Sure, Schremp's ego didn't help, but the crash was inevitable.
Remember when Cogliano and Gagner scored a bunch as rookies, or the Robert Nilsson hype?

Yeah, they hyped him up so high they had to trash him non-stop in order to save face after he didn't pan out.

Literally a bunch of clowns.

Kevin Lowe on Rob Shremp: “hold my beer. People will forget about Shremp once they lose their minds over Vladdy Hockey.”

McDavid the best to ever play the game?

Took 8 years to get to 50 goals, yet 4 players for EDM alone including yup you guessed it Glenn Fricken Anderson have 2 or more 50 goal seasons.

But let the hype train roll on.

Boston is #1
Edmonton is #14...

It's comical. The common takeaway from that game is that the Oilers played neck-and-neck with an elite team that already loaded up for the playoffs, and now all Holland has to do is make a trade and put the team over the top. One fan even commented that they are less scared of seeing Boston in the finals after this game. Something in the water indeed.

I've predicted that Oilers will have a 10 games losing streak tonight is lost number 2, eight more to go.


The next 8 games are:


Maple Leafs

Jets
@ Jets
@ Sabres
@ Bruins
@ Maple Leafs
Senators
Stars


Do we see they winning any of those?

There was nothing in it for Boston tonight, and they coasted to an easy road win. Holding the 1 goal lead for the entire period was fun for them and, if anything, a flex on the coilers who need to win track meets to get Ws

The Jets stink right now, so they probably trade games
